If you would like to change its advanced settings, use the
Router’s browser-based utility. This chapter describes each
web page of the utility and each page’s key functions. You
can access the utility via a web browser on a computer
connected to the Router.
The browser-based utility has these main tabs: Setup,
Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications &
Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be
available after you click one of the main tabs.

How to Access the Browser-Based Utility


To access the browser-based utility, launch the web
browser on your computer, and enter the Router’s
default Internet Protocol (IP) address, 192.168.1.1, or the
Router’s default Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address,
my.E1000, in the Address field. Then press Enter.
A login screen will appear. (Non-Windows 7 users will
see a similar screen.) Leave the User name field blank.
Then enter the password you set up during the setup
software. (If you did not run the setup software, then use
the default password, admin. You can set a new password
on the Administration > Management screen. Refer to
Administration > Management, page 32.) Click OK to Setup > Basic Setup
